Chapter 835 Emerald!

Void looked at the beast sprawling on the ground, unable to move.

The snake was pleading for its life, but Void didn't seem to even care. He was about to kill it when Grey came out from the cave.

"Leave it, we can use it later." Grey said as he descended down.

He was better than when he ran back. It had been only a few minutes since he used the healing tonic, but he was already almost back to full health.

"You're lucky he didn't kill you." Void snorted and smacked one of the heads of the snake.

Grey landed by the side, placing his entire focus on the lotus. This was what had most of his interest, since the snake was already defeated, he didn't need to worry about it any longer.

His eyes glowed as he walked close to the lotus. The lava under the lotus churned and gave off intense chills.

Void shivered before shaking his head, "I can't stay here while you're doing this. I'm outside."

He was about to leave when he noticed the snake's eyes glued to Grey and the lotus. He smacked the snake's head before saying, "If you keep looking I'll make sure you can't see anything any more. Now, move."

He dragged the snake with him as they stepped out of the volcano. They didn't go to the cave since they would disturb the trio who were training there.

Grey didn't bother with Void as his entire focus was on the lotus. He stretched out his hand and the lotus floated in his direction before rotating above his palms. It gave off a cold yet comforting feeling.

He touched the bottom part of it and the top opened, revealing a small pale blue flame, dancing in the middle. Compared to the one he absorbed, this one was larger.

A strange thing occurred just as he was about to begin the process of absorption. The flame flew on its own and drilled itself into Grey's head, without his approval. Before Grey could move, it was already inside his body.

Due to the distance, he couldn't even dodge it. He was forced to sit down cross-legged and start cultivating. This wasn't something he could completely absorb in a single sitting, and he originally planned to start using it after he was fully healed, however, things changed.

He sat down close to the lava, with the lotus increasing in size. Before Grey knew it, he was unknowingly sitting under the lotus and it floated above the lava. The essence when cultivating in the lotus was almost double the normal essence.

Grey noticed this change, but he couldn't open his eyes to check the cause of it as he focused on getting the best of this experience.

Time flew by and two days went by in a flash.

Void was having fun outside the volcano, playing with the snake. Although the snake was a little too big, he didn't have any issues with playing with it. Besides, he didn't have anything to do. They've gone through the entire island, and the only Rank Six Magical beast had been bullied by the duo, it was lucky to get away thanks to some distraction.

The triplet were done with their training and they were currently sitting under a tree, watching Void and the snake.

Boom!

The volcano vibrated, accompanied by a loud explosion.

Grey's figure shot out from the top of the volcano, he was currently sitting on a large lotus.

"Run! It's going to blow!" He yelled at the others.

Void got on the snake and tapped it twice, it immediately flew into the air, preparing to leave. The triplet appeared on its second head with the help of the Space Elementalist among them.

Void vanished from the head of the snake and appeared on the lotus Grey was using to escape.

"Fancy, and shiny, I like it." He commented.

Grey looked at him with his eyes, and for a brief second, his eyes turned pale blue, sending chills down Void's spine.

"Stop that, it's freaking me out." Void complained.

Grey chuckled before looking away. His eyes returned to normal and smiled happily. His gains from this trip was immense. To begin with, he still had the floating clover which brought him out, in addition, Void broke through to the Sage Plane and he also got to the Peak of the Overlord Plane after acquiring an insane ability.

He started to feel that his luck wasn't as bad as he thought it was. Klaus had always been the lucky one, but looks like spending some time with them recently gave him some luck.

If he was fast enough on his return, he could get his points, which he wouldn't need to waste on a cultivation room any longer.​

Given how the lotus was, he decided it was best to keep it hidden. So he went to the other head of the snake, sitting down with Void by his side.

"What did that thing give you?" Void asked curiously.

"Want to try it out?" Grey asked with a cunning smile.

"We'll get opponents soon enough, you'll use it against them." Void sensed something was wrong, so he immediately declined.

Grey laughed before looking away. He decided to check out what his current elemental grade were. His main focus was his fire and darkness elemental grades since they were the ones he got things for. Unfortunately, he couldn't sit down and try to understand the profoundness from the essence Void absorbed. Had he been able to watch it for some time, he was confident in being able to increase at least one of his other elemental grades.

He quickly entered the chaos space and went straight to check his elemental grade. After placing his hand on the stone and it followed the same routine, the result was out. Grey focused on only two, since the others had the same result.

His darkness elemental grade shot up to the cyan elemental grade. As for his fire elemental grade, it was currently giving off a bright emerald color. After this elemental grade, was the black or white elemental grade. This means that Grey's current fire elemental grade was already at the peak of what everyone knew.

His darkness element was not too far behind.

When he came out of the chaos space, his eyes shone with brilliance. He didn't think that things will go this well. In fact, he was elated. If not for the danger, he wouldn't mind getting in this situation more often.

Three days later.

Pyrmond Faction.

Mission hall.

The young lady in charge was currently sitting down, bored. She was tired since there was nothing to do here. Originally, she would've left already and let someone else take up the task of commissioning the missions, but a certain arrogant young man took up a dangerous mission, and she wanted to see where his arrogance would lead him.

The time frame for the mission was two weeks, this was the last day, if the young man didn't come to report the success of the mission, or even his status, someone would head out to locate him with his badge, then the mission would also be regarded as failed.

It was already almost sunset.

"Arrogant people never last." She said with a shake of her head. There was a hint of pity in her eyes, Grey was part of her Faction, so she naturally didn't want him to die so young.

While she was still thinking about how Grey died. She noticed a shadow walk up to her.

"I'm done with the mission." A soft voice said, a little emotionlessly.

"Huh?" She raised her head to look at the figure.

When her eyes met with the face of the speaker, she stood up from her seat, eyes wide open from disbelief.

"Impossible." She muttered.

"Hello, the mission." Grey waved his hand in front of the young lady who didn't seem to be in her right state of mind.

The young lady stayed silent, still in shock. Grey tapped on her shoulder, trying to wake her up from whatever thought she was stuck in.

"The mission, I'd like my points now." He handed his badge as well as the floating clover to the young lady.

She took the item and after confirming it was what was stated in the mission, she transferred the points over to Grey's badge.

She remained quiet even after Grey walked out of the mission hall.

Only after she couldn't see Grey's figure did she finally come back to her senses.

"He actually completed the mission. But how?" She questioned.

As long as Grey walked over to the poison miasma, he would meet certain death. However, this particular plant only grows in a place like that.

"Unless…" She opened her eyes wide, "He already had it."

She smacked the table, as if she caught a thief.

"Such a sneaky move. He waited till the last day to make it seem like he truly went for the mission." She snorted with a sense of comfort.

To her, she just saw through Grey's ruse.

If Grey knew what she was thinking, he wouldn't even bother telling her she was wrong. He preferred when people think whatever they wanted about him.
